About the "Purchase orders" report

With this report, you can view past purchase orders of titles in the One Copy/One User, Metered Access, Class Sets (schools and academic libraries only), and On-Demand Class Sets (schools only) lending models.

You can filter the report by date range, name, order ID, internal order ID, order type (e.g., Holds Manager), or billing account.

The order ID (also called the purchase order ID or OverDrive order ID) is automatically generated by OverDrive at the time of purchase to track your order. You can create your own ID (called the internal order ID or internal purchase order ID) for your own tracking and record-keeping purposes.

Important notes:

  • To run this report from the inception date of your digital collection: Open the report. In the "Report options" window, make sure the "Period type," "Date," or "Date range" is Specific, leave the start date and end date fields blank, and click Update. For large reports, select Create worksheet to export a CSV file of your results.
  • When you preorder a title, it appears in a purchase order with an estimated price, but you aren't invoiced for it yet. Once the title reaches its street date, it will appear in another purchase order with the confirmed price, and you'll get an invoice.
